unwrapped

At 3 1/2 months of age, Theo summons up the courage to admit that he is addicted to sucking on his pacifier and being wrapped throughout the night. His parents decide to help him tackle the problem cold turkey, not wanting to deal with the hassle of weaning him off little-by-little. As they kiss him good night and close the door, they take a deep breath as the brave boy takes on the task of putting himself to sleep. He puts up a long, good fight and finally falls asleep for a mere 45 minutes before waking to eat. Strengthening his resolve after this nourishing meal, however, he takes to sleep like warm butter on toast and sleeps a delicious 8 hours, learning to suck on his fingers for comfort.

note: Theo has made an effort to never sleep this long again
